That is devine! Please can you tell me what dressing you use! I tried it at a function and want to make it at home but unsure of what dressing to use. Thanks

I don't use a dressing.I finely chop a red onion and soak it in the juice of a lime (have used lemon) for about 30min.Drain and add to salad. Drizzle with a little oil.Some times add black olives.

If serving for guests, I put the salad onto a platter of baby spinach leaves for nice contrast of colours.

Think this is actually a Nigella recipe.

Kumera and Bacon salad -
6 med kumera, olive oil, 6 rashers bacon, 2 Tbsp lite sour cream,1 Tbsp curry powder, 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar, 2 stalks celery and 1/3 c fresh coriander.
1. Drizzle kumera with olive oil and season and roast. Add bacon (chopped) when kumera 1/2 cooked and keep roasting til kumera done.
2. Whisk sour cream, curry powder, vinegar with olive oil to make a dressing.
3. Season dressing.
4. Combine kumera, bacon and celery in a bowl. When cooled a little add dressing and stir thru coriander.

Oh that one sounds delicious!
have made a kumara salad with sliced onion, orange and fresh parsley through it with a mix of vinegar and oil poured over, that is yummy but looking forward to trying this one.

That sounds fine geldof. Just ignore those people who can't see past salads made from tinned, frozen and stodgy products then drenched in icky sugar laden and/or chemical filled, processed dressings.

Even worse! Do you add peanuts as well! YUCK!

Caesar - just cos lettuce, parmesan shavings, croutons and Caesar style dressing. I like it with no anchovies - and bits of crispy fried bacon instead.

Potato salad - new potatoes in sour cream with finely sliced spring onions and grated cheese.

Rice salad - cooked rice with finely chopped capsicums, tomato,and peas and sweetcorn. Season with soy sace.
